Students in the Mental Health Justice Clinic will work on a mental health justice project in Connecticut, either through representation of an individual in the criminal legal system, the civil detention system, or other civil rights areas or through representation of a community group engaged in local or state-level advocacy. The seminar component of the course will cover lawyering skills, social justice lawyering theory, including disability justice lawyering, and disability rights law.
The clinic is taught by Clinical Professor of Law Marisol Orihuela. The Mental Health Justice Clinic Fellow is Cassie Hazelip.
